Nepheline and Lazulite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Nepheline and Lazulite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Nepheline Vs Lazulite during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Nepheline is whereas that of Lazulite is .
